Musings

I wanted certain conditions because I believed I would be happy once I got them.ย  But then I learned that happiness is independent of conditions.ย  At first I didnโ€™t trust this idea, but then I experienced it.ย 

And then, making a deliberate effort to turn in the direction of happiness, I saw that this effort opened my perception to opportunities and appreciation, magnifying my actions and infusing them with what I always wanted all along:ย  happiness, or at least the movement toward it.

I can be unhappy in the midst of good fortune, and happy in the bad.ย  Everything depends on my moment-to-moment focus and which direction I decide to point it.
